I Lost an Old Friend today

I Lost My Best Friend Today
I had to take just a moment to Pray

They wanted to be with me all the time
I never understood how They could read my mind

They seemed to know when I was sad
They wanted to play when I was glad

Tears I’ve shed out of love
For my Pet that was sent from above

GOD made every Creature here on earth
We couldn’t realize their Real Worth

Since they All came from Heaven Above
That’s where They have returned
To wait our love

Going to Church Somewhere 

Going to church, not sure where it will be
I know wherever I go, GOD is with me

It matters not where you go or where you’ll sing
The HOLY SPIRIT will be there  making your Heart Ring

Going to Church I may know not where,
Just Worshiping my Loving GOD in prayer

Wherever you are when he draws you near
Take time for Church and HIS WORD to hear

The Old Home Place 

Painting by Spike O’Dell W4WGN Brentwood Tennessee
The Old Homeplace
Brings back Memories 
Of yesteryear gone by

Children laughing and playing
Grandma’s cooking
And the warm breezes blowing by

Good Memories are cherished forever
How they make time fly
The Old Home Place sheds  a tear in my eye

The old hound dog that slept on the porch
The squirrels up in the trees
The colorful leaves rustling in the breeze

Good times are never meant to be forgotten 
Only cherished with time gone by

That’s why I’ll always remember
The Old Home Place
Of times gone by

 The Ocean

If love is vast like an ocean, how do we set sail
JESUS walked on water and HE did not fail

Maybe HE’S is the one that we are looking for
To guide us to that GREAT far off distant shore

The GOOD BOOK said he had  Faith in HIS FATHER
That’s what gave HIM the ability to walk on water

If we can find enough Faith to hold HIS HAND
It will be an easy walk to that far-off land

Crystal Clear Water 

There’s a River of water that flows through me
 It’s Crystal Clear bringing LOVE and Humility 

It fills me up with JESUS' warmth and LOVE
Guiding me every day with a hand from above

The further I go the more I see
How GODS HAND is guiding me

Thank you, LORD, for sending this everlasting love
Flowing through the Crystal Clear River from above
